Metro Optics custom multifocal lenses fill a niche commodity lenses can’t touch.

By using Metro Optics proven presbyopic lens designs, you will realize how simple and rewarding it is to fit custom multifocal contact lenses.

An Infinitely Better Material for Corneal GP and Scleral Lenses

When it comes to quality, Metro Optics ensures all lenses are manufactured with the best materials available in the market. To provide your patients with the healthiest contact lens environment, it is recommended to choose a high dK/t lens material such as Optimum Infinite, which has a hyper oxygen permeability value of 180Dk and a high flexural modulus of 1341MPa, defying the high Dk/low flexural modulus convention (2). This material also has excellent surface wettability, which can be further enhanced through the addition of Tangible hydra-PEG coating to make Infinite the healthiest choice for your corneal GP and Scleral lens wearers.
